A liturgical hike is a celebrate of a liturgy (i.e. church service) in the context of a hike. The services are stational, meaning we do the service throughout the entire hike with stations along the way.

We generally try to pick easier hikes to be more inclusive of people of all abilities. When hikes are more difficult we will provided a notice in advance. We try to rate hikes on a difficulty scale of 1-5. We prefer most hikes be in the 1-2 range and sometimes 3, though we have had more difficult hikes. We are also exploring offering hikes twice a month: having one an easier hike and the other a more difficult one.
